Rectangular multi-tt Yang–Baxter trace conjecture

About 1 year old · traced to

Let bc=(kr):=(k,k,…,k)bc=(k^r):=(k,k,\ldots,k) be a rectangular partition, and let c3bcc3_bc and vbcv_bc be the permutation and spectral-parameter vector associated with bcbc. The vector is

vμ=(1,q,…,qk−1,tr−1tr−2,…,qk−1tr−1tr−2,tr−1tr−3,…,qk−1tr−1tr−3,…,tr−1,…,qk−1tr−1).v_\mu=\left(1,q,\ldots,q^{k-1}, \frac{t_{r-1}}{t_{r-2}},\ldots,q^{k-1}\frac{t_{r-1}}{t_{r-2}},\frac{t_{r-1}}{t_{r-3}},\ldots,q^{k-1}\frac{t_{r-1}}{t_{r-3}},\ldots,t_{r-1},\ldots,q^{k-1}t_{r-1}\right).

Rectangular multi-tt Yang–Baxter trace conjecture. The equivariant trace of Yc3bc(vbc)Y_{c3_bc}(v_bc) is proportional to

ωH~μ((1−q)X;q,t1,…,tr−1).\omega \tilde H_\mu((1-q)X;q,t_1,\ldots,t_{r-1}).

The conjecture is motivated by constructions and computations for rectangular partitions; the source does not report a general proof.
